This outstanding truth must be taken to expect what God says will happen in
God’s particular way, and do not think about any possible problems or
difficulties that could hinder His providence. Accept His every truth without
question, without objection. The seed signifies the principle of spiritual life as
imparted to the believer, which abides in him without possibility of removal
or extinction.
I John 3:9
Declaring anything less is a denial of God’s provision through the death of
Christ. The truth is boldly proclaimed, plainly stated, and never doubted, that
every true believer has been given God’s gift of spirit. This is how we are one
body, and our oneness comes from that truth, from that Word, from Christ. If
you are still thinking with your natural mind, you are lessening the power and
effectiveness of the new birth.We are to have a God-glorifying understanding
of being born again. The basic truth that we should seriously consider is that
the seed, the spirit in us, is perfect, permanent, and with potential. We are
blessed with spiritual blessings. Either you are or you’re not. Is this a choice
or is this an act of faith in God’s word?
The word is to have permanence in our life. We are not born again by man’s
seed. That which caused us to be born again, is the Word of God that is
imperishable, living, abiding, and lasting forever. And as a result, that is who
we are. We are forever. And what is it to believe this? The hope of glory,
Christ in us. The picture is complete. God’s sovereign act in the beginning
put our hope in Him as His seed. Think about what God does for us in Christ
Jesus.
Ephesians 3:17-19
Filled with all the fulness of God far exceeds the measure of faith given. This
must be wholly reasoned with spirituality. For the fullness of God is the
totality of everything God is: His attributes, His character, His perfection, His
holiness, His power, His love, it’s His image, His likeness. The fullness of
God is His complete nature; it is who He is. We thank God that this is the
prayer of the writer and not a declaration of station. None can fully
comprehend it because in its full extent it surpasses knowledge. The fulness
of God is unknowable by finite minds. How can we know it? Though the love
of Christ may be better perceived and known by his true seed than it
generally is by those who will not remain, yet it cannot be fully understood
on this side of heaven. Being filled with the fulness of God is a high
expression. If it was not written in scripture, we should never use it. Let’s
understand it not of His fulness as God is in Himself, but of His fulness as a
God who is in a covenant relationship with us, as a God to His people. Let’s
think of it as a fulness that God is ready to bestow, as He is the One who is
willing to fill us all to the utmost of our capacity as we are in conformity with
Him. Think about it...we are that seed in bodily form. And, it is in that truth
that we powerfully affirm the fact that Jesus is God. The fulness of God is
found in Christ. And we are his seed and as such that fulness is in us...but
only as we are in Christ and Christ is in us.
Colossians 2:9, 10
We know how faith comes...and because we know that is the truth of God,
we know that no word of God is mere propaganda, but an awesome truth.
God really does want to fill His creation with seed of Himself. Beings whose
life will be qualitatively like His own, not because He has any fascination with
us, but because our wills freely conform to His. God is performing a good
work in us. Why would we not want to so reason with God as to intricately,
even tortuously, eliminate the mindful distractions of the human surmising
with the word to have constant streams of meditative thought brought forth
by the Holy Spirit. Our sufficiency is of God. If we are Christ’s seed, then why
do we not believe what God says about us? Why do we still have subpar
faith in His word? Maybe we should begin writing down in our mind what the
word says and means to us.
We don’t have any problem reading the word, but our natural mind wanders
in doubt and is in some degree in unbelief. This is due to the word being
spiritual and the flesh mind being not. Imagine not believing Genesis 3:15.
Could you do what you don’t believe? The seed of God believes not only with
the mind and the heart...God’s seed believes with the mouth. Speaking truth
accomplishes what pleases God.
Isaiah 55:11
God will have a seed that is so faithful, and faith is so absolutely needed to
be so obedient, that we will speak the truth despite opposition and in the
image and likeness of God will be so like Jesus, that we will be spared the
experience of death. We will do as Jesus did. Point blank...it is impossible
to please God without faith. Not difficult, not able to achieve, not without
reservation...it is impossible.
John 8:29
When the Holy Spirit says that a thing is impossible, it is so in a very absolute
sense. Do not attempt the impossible. For only with God are all things
possible. So, to rush upon an impossibility is madness. We must not hope to
please God by any invention of our own, however clever, nor by any labor of
our own, however ardent; since infallible inspiration declares that, without
faith it is impossible to please God. The man Cain was accepted by God, but
what the man did, because it was done without faith, did not please God. If
one shows to be your enemy, what faith do you have in them? When the
word of God, which performed creation, is not enough for any to rest upon,
they may pretend what they will of righteousness and obedience, but when
the want of faith creates variance, God can take no pleasure in it. When we
come to God we must believe He is, in every position He assumes. God is
pleased with us when we are pleased with God and all His doings. By
pleasing God we shall become the means of good to others: our example
will rebuke and stimulate; our peace will convince and invite. This is what
God would have me do, and I will do it in joyful fellowship with others, or
alone by myself, as the case may be; but do it I must, if I be the seed of God.
Now, to more intimately express the Holy Spirit’s involvement as the ultimate
author of truth, knowing that nothing has its origin in man, we must hear the
power of the voice in the whisper of the roaring thunder. We ask God to
prepare us for truth...let us come to the truth of the spiritual essence of what
it is to be the seed of God. Our focus is on Jesus and His Word above all
else. We trust that the Bible has all the answers and truths we need to live a
holy and pleasing life before God knowing that we don’t need anything
beyond what God has provided for us in His Word.All scripture is sacred and
not to be tampered with. Hear the Word, not the man. Do not hear what the
word of God does not say. The bible is not just a book, it is the ultimate
authority of God. In it we find description and instruction for life, for faith. The
bible tells us that God’s thoughts are higher than our thoughts, for we cannot
know nor see what He can know and can see, because He is God, and He
knows all things and He sees all things. That is easy for us to reason in our
minds, but to abandon our steadfastness of mind requires a faith that says
none of us have seen salvation, yet we have the evidence of it in the reality
of Jesus Christ in whom we eagerly await. He is also the evidence of the
hope that saves us which we cannot see.
